Private
By default
People were matching at random and dropping the conversation. Profiles were public by accident, and the product had no idea which introductions were worth making.
Matching uses compatibility instead of a pure swipe pile. Conversation opens only after a match. Profile visibility and video chat are designed so people can talk without handing the whole account to strangers.

What Dating App actually does
Matching uses compatibility instead of a pure swipe pile. Conversation opens only after a match. Profile visibility and video chat are designed so people can talk without handing the whole account to strangers.
Compatibility matching
Introductions prefer a fit over an endless undifferentiated stack.
Match before chat
A conversation starts when both people have opted in.
Private profiles
What is visible is a product decision, not an accident of the first release.
Video chat
People can talk in the product when a match is ready for it.
Safety controls
Block and report sit on the conversation, where they are needed.
A feed that can grow
The matching service is separate from the chat service, so either can scale.
